An Important Note About Our NFPA Certification Process: CMI's NFPA-compliant products were previously independently tested by an outside agency to ensure compliance with the NFPA 1983 standard (2001 edition). However, due to the high cost of maintaining this certification, which requires annual site visits and annual recertification of each individual product, all at the manufacturer's expense, we have decided to discontinue third-party certification.

What does this mean? Very little. Products are still manufactured and tested by the same processes and using the same quality control standards as before, and still meet or exceed the requirements of NPFA 1983. Documentation and labelling are exactly the same as before. The only change is that all testing and verification are performed by CMI. Internal testing documents are available for review at your request.

If you have any questions or concerns about our NFPA Compliance, please contact our sales department.
